Hey everyone!
You have to be of a certain age anymore to remember rock shows like Midnight Special. I happen to be of a certain age – even if barely. There were some perks to some of the chaos of my early teens – the frequent moves, parents living in separate states while moves were being arranged, etc. One of those perks was that I got to stay up late quite a bit, and probably was watching musical performances that none of my friends ever saw. I was looking for a video to throw in for the week, and this performance by Blondie of one of their big hits, Heart of Glass, was right there as a suggestion.

No lip sync, just real instruments and real vocals – plus Deborah Harry uses her platform to do a bit of editorializing about the nuclear arms race. Seems fitting for a political blog to include a little political content from time to time, even here.
Cheers!

Freaks me out that she’s five years OLDER than Stevie Wonder.

Lots of great performances on that show. Might have already posted this but it’s worth another listen.

I stumbled across this kinda travel site yesterday and I bookmarked it.
This a great sight. Lots of fun rabbit holes to go down.
Yeah, I was noticing. Btw, good to see you around these parts again. Been too long.
Thanks for the tip. Got it bookmarked as well now. At some point – maybe not this year – I’ll be back to travelling again.
Listen to the bass. I love recordings where Phil Lesh is high in the mix.
